I believe the primary cause of excess overtime is insufficient staffing, compounded by COVID/flu/rsv and burnout. I’m curious though to hear from someone in the medical system whether there is also an aspect of ‘gaming the system’ (in quotes because it sounds more negative than I intend - more like exercising a feature of the scheduling system)
